Autumn’s Embrace

One of my favourite seasons. 💜❤️

Autumn’s Embrace

Autumn’s embrace is upon us at last
A hue of vibrant colours
Dapple through the trees
Exuding warmth and comfort
To protect us from life’s breeze

Ageing leaves sprinkle like confetti
To the ground, without sound
Enticing us to walk their magic carpet
As we marvel at their splendour
Such soothing vibes, so tender

Warmth rings out
From the tapestry of colour
With such abundant flair
Easing the shift from summer’s sun-kissed skies
With fallen leaves, some trees now bare

Squirrels dine on pinecones, in plentiful supply
Children gather conkers off the ground
As they pass by
Crafters forage autumn gems to their hearts delight
Before they scamper back off home
As the day gives way to night

In time the leaves will decompose
As the tree roots, they will nourish
With the passing of the seasons
The trees again will one day flourish
But in between we revel in autumn’s calm embrace
As we marvel at its beauty with a smile upon our face
